Starting and viewing a recording

You can record a process as it executes and view a recording of the process. If you have multiple processes in a LiveCycle application, you can record all of them. Viewing a process permits you to see the runtime values of variables as you step through the recording of the process execution. Viewing the runtime variable values allows you to troubleshoot and optimize the process.

Start and view a recording

  1. In Workbench, right-click FirstApp > FirstApp/1.0 > PreLoanProcess in the Application view, and select Record and Playback > Start Recording.

  2. Test the process in Workspace. (See Testing using in Workspace.)

  3. Return to Workbench and select Record and Playback > Stop Recording.

  4. In the Applications view, right-click FirstApp > FirstApp/1.0 > PreLoanProcess and select Record and Playback > Play ProcessRecording. In the Play Process Recording dialog box, an entry appears for the test you completed.

  5. Select the process recording and click OK. The editor for your process appears as shown in this illustration.

  6. Click the PlayA button with a green arrowhead pointed right. button to play the entire recording or the Next A button with an arrowhead pointing right. button and BackA button with an arrowhead pointing left. button to step forward and backward through the process, respectively. When you finish viewing the recording, click the Close button to exit the recording playback mode. As the process executes, values change in the Variables view. If an ellipsis button appears under the Value column for a variable, you can click it to see the value.

    Because your process completed successfully, the colored routes between each operation are green. If a step fails to complete, the route turns red.
